.SH NAME
.PP
kubectl config \- config modifies kubeconfig files


.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBkubectl config\fP [OPTIONS]


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
config modifies kubeconfig files using subcommands like "kubectl config set current\-context my\-context"

.PP
The loading order follows these rules:
    1. If the \-\-kubeconfig flag is set, then only that file is loaded.  The flag may only be set once and no merging takes place.
    2. If $KUBECONFIG environment variable is set, then it is used a list of paths (normal path delimitting rules for your system).  These paths are merged together.  When a value is modified, it is modified in the file that defines the stanza.  When a value is created, it is created in the first file that exists.  If no files in the chain exist, then it creates the last file in the list.
    3. Otherwise, ${HOME}/.kube/config is used and no merging takes place.
